It’s hard to believe that we’ve already been on the road again for over 3 months! However, given that we’re in a great area in Australia, the Kimberley, I’d be quite happy for the trip to go really slow for a while. Kununurra itself has finally had some growth since visiting here 12 years ago, having previously been […]
We’re finally back in Kununurra after just over 4 weeks of not having internet access whilst we travelled the Gibb River Road. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll dedicate multiple posts to the Gibb River Road section as we know many want to know all the juicy details of this part of our trip! Here’s the first […]
Here comes another instalment of our Gibb River Road adventures, as we now finally hit the Gibb River Road, visit a few stations and many of the stunning gorges.. Days 7-14 Upon arriving at the Gibb River Road, it was hard for Grant to contain his excitement. Woo hoo!! Lots of photos were in order and […]
Days 15 – 21 Day 15 – Packing up at Mount Elizabeth this morning we, realise our pack ups are starting to get quicker (thank goodness…it’s only taken two weeks of practice)! We started to joke saying we’ll get this packing down pat just as we pick up the van again. On the road, we headed […]
Day 22 – First stop at El Questro was Saddleback Ridge Lookout. The track leading up to the lookout was a good 4WD track, pretty steep and narrow, and gave the Paj a bit of a workout. Upon arriving at the top, the scenery was stunning. We had 360 degrees view of the place – there […]
WHERE: The Kimberley is located in the far north west of Western Australia and covers more than 420,000 square kilometres. In comparison, this region is bigger than Germany and nearly twice the size of Victoria, but has a population of less than 50,000 people. The main entry points to the Kimberley are from the towns […]
I still find travelling to WA’s northwest as exciting as it was on my first trip more than 25 years ago. With several trips now under the belt and a stint living in Kununurra, there’s one thing that I appreciate more than ever, and that’s timing. Time in the Kimberley is a slow-moving clock that […]
WHERE: The magnificent Munja Track is located in the far north of Western Australia’s Kimberley region. Accessed off the Gibb River Road from Mt Elizabeth Station, the 225 kilometre challenging track to the coast ends at Walcott Inlett where you can witness first hand the massive Kimberley tides and fish for barramundi. Just keep watch […]
If there was one place that was typically Kimberley, then many would say it has to be the Gibb River Road. Having first visited the Gibb in the early 1990s, there is no doubt that it has drawn us back time and time again, and I don’t think that will change any time soon! […]
